Manchester City winger Raheem Sterling hopes to maintain his good start to the season and impress Pep Guardiola.
The 21-year-old has made a bright start to the campaign and played a pivotal role in City's 5-0 Champions League play-off victory over Steaua Bucharest in August.
Sterling became the most expensive English player when he joined City from Liverpool for £44m in 2015, but struggled to justify his hefty price tag in a disappointing first season at the Etihad.
Sterling scored twice in City's 3-1 victory over West Ham and his upturn in form has been noticed by England manager Sam Allardyce, who named the 21-year-old in his first squad for Sunday's World Cup qualifier in Slovakia.
Sterling insists he had no doubts about rediscovering his form, particularly after a poor Euro 2016 campaign where both he and his England team-mates struggled.
"I'm enjoying my football and I am enjoying winning games and I am working hard to continue doing that. This is the season you will see me working my hardest, that's for sure," Sterling said.
"I didn't come into the season thinking: 'I want to show everyone'. But just to concentrate on my football, that's the most important thing.
"People will talk, but the most important thing for me was to come in and do well under the new manager and impress here. I knew if I kept working hard I would get my chances."
